  1. if it IRKS Republicans

    I'm all for it


  2. Some responders are saying that RAtM are standing up against "oppression"  and are for "freedom", which in it's purest sense is a great thing. I dont think they are anti-American. But what do I see coming from the LibDems is anything but freedom and non-oppression.....take their "fairness doctrine" for example.

    The drafters of that tripe want to erase any opposing views that disagree with their agendas line of thought. This is aimed mainly at the radio talk shows that the Libs cant seem to find a big enough audience to stay viable much unlike the Conservative talk shows.

    That would be oppression and removal of the the 1st amendment to our constitution, but they lie about that at every turn and blame Republicans for all of the worlds woes.

    You see, the Liberals are anything but Liberal.

  3. No big surprise.

    Michelle Obamamma probably knows every word to every song.

  4. I don't like the band.

    But they are American, formed in California according to Wiki.

    Only in an America would a protest band like that be allowed.  Freedom of speech is as American as it gets!

  5. They were cheap.$50.00 and drinks.

  6. I'm waiting to hear the REAL Beach Boys do their rendition of Bomb, Bomb, Iran at the Republican Convention.

  7. You gotta love the tolerance.

  8. Dissent isn't anti-American.  I know because the constitution says so.  Is ranting against the constitution anti-American?  

    Amendment I

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


  9. Rage Against the Machine rocks....they are not anti-American...here's a clue...if criticizing the govt. is anti-American, then you bitching about your taxes is anti-American

  10. Gee, doesn't that match the entire political philosophy of the Democratic Party these days?  

  11. When we dismiss the negativity of a group or individual with whom we also choose to align ourselves, we welcome more negativity into our own lives. We can never be sure how big or small it will be.

  12. They didn't play the DNC they played a free show outside the convention, and they will do the same at the RNC.  

    They aren't an anti-American rock band, they are anti-establishment.  

    Regardless, they are entitled to play where they want, which is why they are also playing outside of the RNC when it takes place.  

  13. they're not anti-american...

    they did not play at the DNC.

    they played at the Tent State Music Festival in Denver, yesterday.

  14. I am that the Obama family will sing along to every word.  

  15. did the dems have their flag burning ceremony while they played?? lol

  16. you're confusing a rage against the gop

    war machine as a rage against america

  17. They aren't playing AT the convention.  They playing at a festival there. They did something similar at the gore convention accross teh street and the lapd came in with people on horseback and beat the h**l out of everyone there.  RATM are not democrats.

  18. i wonder if they'll have their big banner with Che's picture hanging up, or if the drummer will have Che on his drum set...  you know, like the band has for EVERY gig they play....

    ...i bet it will suspiciously be missing (does that mean "rage" is selling out to "the man"?)

    .

    ...such a shame, too - tom morello is a kick a** guitarist

  19. hahahaha, they aren't anti-american, they are anti-imperialists and anti-oppression.

    Why do you automatically assume YOUR views are American views?  Why not just admit that they are your views as an American?  

    RAtM has no problem stating their views are precisely their views.....they don;t cloak them in a flag like you do to justify them.

  20. Just because they say somethings against what the government says doesn't mean they are anti-american.  Being anti-american would be promoting bombing american for the greater good of humanity.  They are against government taking over your life.. as America is attempting to do.

  21. Man, I'm glad I missed that part!  I hate the way Tom Morello plays guitar, and that lead singer annoys me too.  Maybe they should have had Neil Young play there instead, or even the Flaming Lips.  Rage Against The Machine is a bit too radical (and they suck anyway).

  22. No, they are playing at Tent State not the DNC nor are they anti-American.  Who else would you like to censor?

  23. I think it's hard to "Rage Against the Machine" that made them all multi-millionaires. Yup, the "machine" sure screwed them didn't it.

  24. They weren't playing FOR the dnc. They were protesting with the anti war demonstrators.

    btw there not anti american.  

  25. Stating your beliefs with music is not anti-American.  

  26. Everything is anti-American with neocons except for John Ashcroft's "Let the Eagles Soar."
